Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Hello, i just installed redhat 8.0 and compiling no longer works on ANYTHING, im trying to install hxd the hotline client currently, and no matter what i try i always get errors, this happens for ANYTHING i try to compile uisng ./configure, make and make install, rpms work just fine but tar.gzs wont work at all. please help a frustrated n00b?

I think you are missing part of GTK (graphical development), maybe the devel or something. Check the website where you got it and it should tell you what packages/libraries are required. If you don't have one, you need to get that and install that first. I bet the other compiles are running into the same thing, you're missing libraries that you'll need to install first.
